Explore what's inside Caldea Spa
In the early 1990s, Caldea Spa emerged as a visionary project to showcase Andorra’s abundant mineral springs in a groundbreaking way. Inaugurated in 1994, the spa was designed to blend innovative architecture with the healing powers of thermal waters and mountain views. Initially, it was centered around the Thermoludic lagoon, but over the years, it has expanded to include zones like Inúu for adults and Likids for kids. Today, it stands as a leading European wellness destination, combining ancient hydrotherapy traditions from around the world with modern relaxation techniques.
Jacques Pérez was the brains behind Caldea’s fascinating architecture. His fascination with the transformative powers of water has earned him the name "Water Architect". His signature style—fluid lines, expansive glass facades, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions—shines through in the spa’s design. Pérez elevated his vision by incorporating Andorra’s geothermal riches and Pyrenean landscape, creating a structure that harmonizes with the surrounding peaks while offering a modern, innovative experience. Caldea stands as a testament to his genius, blending natural elements with architectural brilliance.
Rising like a crystal from the Andorran landscape, Caldea Spa represents a bold architectural statement. Standing 80 meters tall, this glass and steel marvel is like a vertical city of thermal experiences. The building's most striking feature is its massive glass facade that seems to change colors with the mountain light – reflecting blues, grays, and touches of sunlight throughout the day. Pérez deliberately used a mix of modern materials and organic design, creating a structure that looks both futuristic and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.
